Stress can work either way, by being the best fat burner ever, or by making you even more prone to eat more.

My husband and I were very stressed during the period immediately following the births of our children, more than the usual parent who only had to deal with sleepless nights. Our babies had benign neonatal seizures, although we didn't know what it was during that time. It was very difficult for us to see our small baby having uncontrollable fits. Thankfully, they were benign and had no lasting effects. But my husband lost 30 pounds without meaning to during the first 3 months of our firstborn's life.

Now, are we willing to potentially go through that again? We're thinking of whether or not we should have a Baby number three before "the factory closes down", but should we? Can we afford to support another child?

We're still thinking about it. At least we now have two. Maybe we'll be "given" another child. Maybe not. We'll leave up to the Greater Power to decide if we should have another one.
